DROPPING TIES ON THE TRACK.
 whole road ahead of us? If so, we would do well to abandon our efforts for the destruction of bridges and seek our own safety. Of one thing we felt sure, it must have been one of the trains we had passed at Calhoun or Adairsville that was following, but why? There were three first and less serious was that the sus- picious conductor at Calhoun, who had been so unwilling to let us pass, had de-
 termined that we were impostors, and at his own motion had set out to follow us. If so, we would have to deal only with him, and might yet accomplish part of our work. Or it might be that the freight had run to where we had broken up the track, had escaped wreck, and, turning back, had telegraphed ahead before we had cut the wire. In this alarmed, and this was probable indeed. Or, once more, messenger might have been sent down to Marietta from Big Shanty, and dispatch sent to Atlanta and around the whole circuit of the Confederacy back to Chattanooga, and, before the wires had been cut, to one of the trains we had passed, with orders to follow us closely and prevent us from damaging the road until a train could De sent out rom CnaCUanOOSa to secure our capture. If either of these latter conjectures were true-and they were the most probable-our race was almost run We would be obliged to leave the road, and essay the far more difficult task of escaping on foot If Andrews thought either of these probably true, it would fully account for his reluctance in order ing the capture of a pursuing train; for such a capture could do no permanent good, while every one of his party wounded in the fight would be disabled for the in Aevitable and terrible land journey ahead, iafIll Notfld slneIy 1DJ lost. In view of the almost hopeless situation as it appeared to us then-far worse than the reality, for the road ahead had not been warned as yet-the heroic constancy of Andrews, who continued to put forth every possible effort as coolly and quietly as if success had been within his grasp, is made brightly conspicuous. There were now three chasing trains; first, Fuller and his men with the locomotive of the down freight; second, the Calhoun passenger, which had immediately followed him and was not very far behind; and last, the

 structed, and with the guns of the pur- suers behind, we could not give time for this; so we slowly and reluctantly passed over the bridge, after dropping the car, and on through the village of Resaca. The pursuers took up this car as they had done the other, and pushed them both through the bridge, and left them on the Resaca side track.
 It may be well to notice here how our ignorance of the enemy and his ignorance of us both inured to his advantage. There had been already many intimations among us that it would be well to turn and fight rather than to be chased any further. Had the real weakness of the enemy on the first train been known, Andrews would have certainly ordered the attack. On the other hand, if Fullcr's party had known how strong we were he could not have induced them to continue the chase, even if the resolute conductor himself had not been willing to wait for help. It was believed at first that we were but four the number on the engine. The estimate 4--. A--e

 phy suggesting to Fuller even then that it would be better to wait for the train behind and take on more men. But Fuller resolved to persevere and at least delay us at the risk of his own life. Had it been known that we were twenty, he and his slender band would not have been guilty of the madness of crowding on nearly twice their number, even if better armed, and sure of help at every station. But this madness, this unreasonable pursuit, the result of imperfect knowledge, served them well.
 After passing Resaca, we again forced our pursuers back by dropping ties on the track, and not knowing whether it was a telegraph station or not, we again cut the wires. No Instructions were placed on the track at this point, but it was on curve, and taking a rail which had been bent in lifting it I placed one end under the rail at one side and the other project ing diagonally toward the train on the other side. The pursuers saw us start, but seeing no Instructions they ran at a good rate of speed right over this raili Their escape was marvellous Persons on the tender jumped a foot high, and one of Fuller's stanchest helpers demanded that the train be stopped to let him off! he wanted no more such running as that! But Fuller, though considering this the greatest of their dangers, would not stop; and it was impossible for him to keep a closer lookout than he had done.
 But what conjectures did we form to account for the unexpected appearance of this pursuing train? The story as given to the reader was totally unknown then and we were greatly perplexed. The matter had great practical importance. Was the engine started after us by an authority which had also alarmed the
